So im about to get a new laptop, its no the best but it will be diffrent, currently i have a desktop so a laptop i will be able to move around with.

Its a windows laptop with 12gb of ram, 250 storage, so im hoping its good becasue i got this laptop on the cheaper end becasue its refurbished acording to amazon.

anyways what are some of the first things to do with a laptop besides setting it up and what are some cool uses, i have some ideas on how i might use the laptop but i want to hear what yall have to say.

First thing to do: reinstall windows. You keep your license, it's quick, but it removes all the bloatware on your computer

Do this, then visit https://ninite.com/ and choose what you want installed on it.

I'd rather use Chocolately for that since it's an actual package manager. Ninite is pretty good for what it is though.
